[edit] Self-ref?
How is this template a self-reference? It's used for displaying cite/source information, which is definitely part of the article content. I'm removing the selfref notice ... call me out on it if I did something stupid. --Cyde Weys 02:07, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Accessdate?
Most citation templates have an accessdate field, which differs from the date field. I thought I should post this note before adding one to the template, but I think it's a critical field to include, since stuff comes & goes from the Web. | Mr. Darcy talk 19:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple editions?
There is a flaw in this template: how does one cite specific editions of a work? Right now I'm faced with an instance of this template which I may have to remove & replace with a plain textual bibliographic citation -- which I'd honestly rather not do. But if this template doesn't fit, then I'll have to do that more & more. -- llywrch 23:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have created User:Shoons/Cite as follows. I wonder if this kind of approach can help you. Let me know.--Shoons 03:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User:Shoons/Cite
I created User:Shoons/Cite so that everybody can use this convenient Template:Cite. Please let me know what you think.--Shoons 03:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] long url(s) do not get wrapped to next line
- When looking at an article in print preview, i noticed that long urls used in references are not wrapped to the next line. For example, just try to view this page in print preview (click here) and you will see that the url just goes on and on within the same line in the Reference section.
